I had no idea a cake could be kept frozen upto 3 months.
Nice video :)
It sure can if it's wrapped well!!!
Please let us know how long to thaw so that we can frost
I'm baking my first cake today by myself.
I'm making it for our new year's day dinner, and panicked when I realized I didn't know how to properly take the cakes out of the pans!
This really helped a lot, thank you so much!
Aww, it was my pleasure!! Glad the video helped!!
I wish you and your family a most Happy New Year!!!
Thanks for reaching out!!!
That's really good advice
Thanks for the advice, Chef 🙌

Thanks
Link to the "previous" video referenced in this video?
Your technique seems practical and easy. But was wondering why you haven't used cooling rack and let the cake cool down in pan. Some people say that it get over baked so i was following that. Actually i have ended up breaking some of my cakes while flipping to and fro. 😔. Thanks God i came across your video to find out my mistake.
You can absolutely use a cooling rack. You can flip the cake onto a cardboard cake circle and then allow it to finish cooling on the rack. However, if you remove the cake when it is barely warm there really is no need for a cooling rack.
Some cakes are so delicate that transferring them from the rack onto a platter can break them. My way goes directly from cake pan to cake circle and the cake stays intact.
Thank you I love making cakes and my main problem is a stuck cake even if I butter or grease the pan
I tried the butter knife but it was still a little firm to the pan.
I used a small cake batter spatula agin around the edges didn’t have to worry about scraping the pan and i gently pushed the cake towards the middle around the pan and it came out good
You don't have to use a butter knife like I do. I am glad you found a tool that worked for you. It is a great feeling when your cake comes out perfectly from the pan, right? Thanks for reaching out!!!
@@GailSokol thanks 😊
Thanks so much. How can you do this for a bundt pan?
Be sure to get into every area of the bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter, or shortening or oil.
Then sprinkle flour into the pan and rotate it all around so the flour coats all the greased areas, and then knock out the excess.
Your bundt cake should come out great.
Be sure to take the baked cake out when it is only lukewarm.
Good luck!
@@GailSokol Gail you are the best! Thanks so much. I appreciate you.
Hi, how many minutes do i have to wait before removing the cake from the pan from the time it came out from the oven?
You should feel the cake pan to see if it is barely warm. Each kitchen is different in temperature so it will depend on that and how thick your cake is. I go by barely warm.
@@GailSokol thank you so much for the answer ☺️
Its go time !
You know it!
Ok..rookie question here. If you take your cake out too soon and it needs about another 2 mins, would it be okay to return it to the oven after it has sat for any amount of time (like 20 mins)? Or would this not work?
It would work out the best of you kept it in the oven for another 2 minutes instead of leaving out for 20 minutes or more. Once it's cool the baking process would stop and the cake would need to get back up to temperature to finish up baking. But never say never!! Try it and see if it works.
Another thought is that just leaving it out there at room temperature may be enough to get some carry over baking to finish the baking process up and the cake would get done.
@@GailSokol Thank you for the advice! I made my first 3 layer red velvet cake yesterday. I did end up sticking it back in for a couple of minutes, but I think if I had not it would have been the same. Turned out great! It was slightly gooey on top, but once i trimmed the tops, it was good. I appreciate your video, it helped me a lot :)
@@like.thebird I am so glad I could help!!! Sometimes chocolate cake layers can appear moist on top, yet still be done!!!
@@like.thebird I am so glad it helped! Happy baking!
So how do you get your cakes so flat? Without dome tops?
I don't over fill my cake pans and I smooth out the batter with an offset spatula.
Should I immediately remove the cake pan from oven once the baking process is done? Or should I leave it in the oven to cool down?
You must remove the cake pan once the baked good is done or the baking process will continue and the cake will get over done.
I just put way to much batter in my round pan and now the top looks like a muffin. I’m about to try and take it out. #quaranteenBirthdayCakeAttempt1
You can level the cake by cutting off the top and then try to take it out of the pan.
Let me know how it comes out! Good luck!
Gail Sokol I ended up flipping it over into my hand. I guess I greased it enough because it came out perfectly. I ran a butter knife around the edge and it wasn’t stuck. It does look like I made a giant muffin though. Had to cook it 30 minutes longer and it actually turned out great. I wasn’t planning on adding icing anyways. Now I know. Portion and pan sizes matter.
I'm very new to baking and you said to keep the cakes in the pans to cool until they are almost room temperature..I hear its not a good idea to leave your cake in the pan for too long..which is it really???
It really is until they are BARELY warm -- not room temperature or cooled completely. Otherwise the pan has a hard time releasing the cake!
@@GailSokol What about overbaking the cake though??
@@Sixdays_aweek Are you asking what can you do if you overbake the cake? If so, once it's baked there's not much you can do.
However there are some tricks to moisten it so you can't tell it's been over baked. Try cutting each layer in half crosswise and making a flavored simple syrup to sprinkle over each layer before you frost it. That will add flavor and moisture.
Another idea is to use the over baked cake for a bread pudding.
I hope these suggestions help!!!
Wish I would have seen this before turning out my delicate German chocolate cake😒
I hope you can use these tips in the future! I have learned so much through making my own mistakes!!
Thanks for reaching out!!!
I need a sheet cake
Just take any cake recipe for 2 9 inch diameter round layers and bake the batter in a 9X13 inch rectangular sheet cake pan.
Why would you want to keep a cake 3 - 4 months...I make a cake to eat the cake asap😊
Some people like to make cakes in advance and need to know how to keep it properly when they freeze it.
Many folks may not have the time right before an event or get together to bake. Obviously it is always best to eat what you bake right after you bake it. But there may be leftovers that people can't eat up asap so freezing allows them to enjoy that baked good in the near future!
@@GailSokol thank you for the video ..I just made a cake 🎂 for my boyfriend's bday
@@imlissa I hope you and your boyfriend enjoy that cake!! It really is extra special when you make it yourself!!! If you have a picture I would love to see it!!!
Wish your boyfriend a most wonderful birthday!!!
Thanks for reaching out again!!!
That’s not a butter knife in your hand.
It is since it is the easiest tool to use that most people have.
Gail Sokol no ma’am that is NOT a butter knife in your hand. You mention multiple times to use a butter knife. That is a place setting knife which typically has some serration to the edge. A butter knife is absolutely smooth and about 6” to 7”.
That may not be a butter knife to you but it is truly a butter knife.
The point being it is a great tool to loosen a cake from the pan.
You can use whatever you want.
@@GailSokol agreed 👍
